Giving Outer Wilds another go from a new save. I played 5 years ago but got stuck and gave up.

Man. I got about 5 minutes into that game.
I think I closed it and started a second runthrough of Stray. Wanted the kitty, not the spaceship.
I should eat some mushrooms or something and give it another shot.

You should. It’s very unique and special.

Thanks. I’ve kept it installed. I’ll pick it up.

I did the same with Obduction, and Stray too, now that I think of it. Yup, and with Talos Principle.
Puzzle games have to grab me. But I can be grabbed. I finished the first two.

I sure worked on Talos, but I got tired and just watched the end at the top of the tower on youtube. I did buy Gehenna, played it a bit. Never did Talos II, and Reawakened does not look good to me.

Mmm. And then there’s the abandoned puzzle game. Turing Test. Ya, its uninstalled. Apparently I completed Chapter 3. I don’t feel a shred of interest at this moment, either.

While outer wilds could don the moniker of puzzle game, I think of it as the evolution of point-and-click. By that I mean there’s a fleshed out world to interact with using your intuition and innate interest in mystery rather than a set of tasks to complete.

I hope it clicks with you!
